The minute-book records no further details of the meeting 

 than that the three toasts of the Royal Society Club were 

 honoured. 



The Anniversary Meeting of this year was held on 25th 

 June, when twenty-nine members were present, with Sir 

 William Bowman in the chair. The Treasurers reported 

 that the expenditure since the last Anniversary had amounted 

 to 74 35 5d., leaving in their hands a balance of 70 193. 

 The subscription for the ensuing session was fixed at the 

 now customary sum of i, and there were no arrears of 

 subscription. 



The usual number of twelve dinners had been duly held. 

 They were attended by 165 persons, consisting of 150 

 members and 15 guests. The largest attendance was 24 

 (the Anniversary dinner) and the smallest seven. The 

 extra dinner with the Philosophical Club was not included 

 in these figures. 



Two deaths were announced, those of Professor John 

 Marshall and of Sir John Hawkshaw. 



In the case of absentees no further action required to 

 be taken. Dr. Debus was at his request placed on the 

 Supernumerary list during his absence in Germany. 



Three vacancies were declared. There were five candi- 

 dates. As the result of the voting Professor George Downing 

 Liveing and Professor Arnold W. Reinold were elected, and 

 the third place was not filled. 



The number and dates of the meetings were provisionally 

 arranged nearly as last year. It had not been found prac- 

 ticable to transfer some of the dinners from summer to 

 winter, as had been suggested at last Anniversary Meeting, 

 there being no available meeting days of the Royal Society 

 to admit of the alteration. 



The Meeting took into consideration a letter from the 

 Treasurer of the Philosophical Club submitting the following 

 resolution of that Club : 



" That a joint Committee be formed to consider the relations 

 of the two Clubs ; that Sir William Bowman, as the oldest member 

 of the Royal Society Club, and one of the three surviving original
